Ash Wednesday
For many of you the observance of the Lenten season is a lifeless ritual. Something you do because, you grew up doing it. Your mom and dad said it was the right thing to do. So you did it! But for me; a protestant, growing up in a church which never understood symbolism, or ritual, it has became an assistant, a tutor. Directing me in the importance and depth, of Christ’ agony and sacrifice. I remember vividly how beautiful Easter Sunday was to me following my total involvement in my first observance of Lent.
